In this day in time we live in, not even an elephant is safe from the nonsense that takes place in the streets. According to reports, a 39-year-old elephant from the world-famous Ringing Bros & Barnum & Bailey circus was the victim of a drive-by shooting yesterday in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Police Chief Tony Carleton says a vehicle drove past the arena about 2 a.m. and fired at the elephant named Carol. Police are investigating. Smdh!

The Scoop:

Carol is expected to make a full recovery. Some people these days I tell ya!
